It's actualy quite big underneath, just with few hamocks and beds. ** Azrah replied.**

"It would still help to take out all that reinforcement. I know there's no ice here and it's just wasting space now," Linx said as he continued to row. "Not like you can never put it back in."

Maybe, **Azrah thought aloud.**

"It'll delay your journey while you swap out reinforcements for supplies," Linx continued, "but with these longboats going back and forth, not by much, and it's worth the extra work."

**Suddenly it seamed as if Azrah had gone mad, throwing the crates into the water and tiping the boat.**

Neither Archon nor Linx seemed particularly fazed by this, although they did attempt to restrain Azrah. It wasn't their supplies but they didn't want to get capsized out this far.

Capsize was inevitable. Linx roughly grabbed Archon's upper arm and yanked him out of the way to avoid being hit by a falling crate just as the boat became perpendicular with the water. He grabbed onto a bench bolted into the boat for support, not wanting to jump off right yet for fear of getting hit by the far side of the hull as it descended, but his grip failed him and Archon slipped on the wet surface of the wood, falling outwards just in time to get slammed just above the temple by the falling boat.
As soon as the boat had totally turned over Linx released his grip on the boat, swimming underwater to get beyond the boat's area of cover and reach Archon, who had been immediately knocked unconscious by the blow. He did his best to hold onto the mouse's limp form while clutching the side of the boat to compensate for the extra weight he was holding and attempting to ignore the freezing water enveloping him and soaking through his fur.

**As they reached shore Azrah spoke,** sorry, it happens whenever people want to change my vessel.

"What the..." Linx was still undergoing some sensory trauma from the sudden drop in temperature around him. He had no idea water could be this cold. He turned Archon so he could get a better look at where the boat had hit him. There was a cruel-looking wound bleeding down the side of his head. If that had happened to his skin from a blunt force then it must have done at least a serious concussion.
OOC: I'm going to be off for a bit.

"Cmon, we gotta get to the shore, fast. Can't risk hypothermia." Linx kicked off the capsized boat with Archon's thermally stressed, unconscious and wounded body in tow.

**When they reached shore they were all panting, except Azice who had sat on her fathers back.**

Linx, having a relatively thin coat of fur and not being used to such cold water, was shivering head to toe. He felt exhausted from swimming all that distance with the still-unconscious Archon weighing him down.
A short time after being dragged onto the shore Archon came to, only to find himself injured and bleeding, with an unbearable headache, chilled to the bone and soaking wet. "L-Linx..."

**Azrah apologized profusely, and gave them all warm drinks from the mugs.**
